00:00Previously on The Rookie.
00:01Remember the criminal guards that flew back from Vegas?
00:04Everett, right?
00:05As we've been digging deeper into his criminal operation,
00:07an unexplained connection inside the Pentagon.
00:11Hey, counselor.
00:12Harrison Novak.
00:13Hunting by victims, that just fills me up.
00:17It seems clear that we have a second serial killer at large.
00:20I think Glasser is my guy.
00:21They're in my head.
00:22Ryan Dearborn's misfortune is Liam Glasser's blessing.
00:25If you're implying I had something to do with this.
00:33He's dead. I do know his name.
00:35His name was Martin.
00:43Don't worry. I'm up.
00:46You're looking pretty horizontal to me.
00:53Yeah.
00:56Hey, there is no shame if you're not ready, all right?
01:01And what you experienced was deeply traumatic.
01:04And it doesn't just disappear in a few weeks.
01:07It just would be easier to process if he was a violent criminal.
01:12You know, but he's not.
01:14He's a victim, too.
01:15I-I hear you, but listen.
01:19It doesn't matter, okay?
01:21And this is going to sound cold-blooded,
01:23but in the moment,
01:25Martin Carpio was a homicidal maniac
01:28about to drive a linoleum knife through your chest.
01:31If you hadn't acted,
01:35I was going to spend the last couple weeks
01:38picking out a coffin
01:40and putting your body on the ground.
01:42And I know this is complicated for you,
01:44but for me, it is very simple.
01:46You're alive
01:47because you did what you had to do to stay that way.
01:55Okay.
01:56Okay.
01:56I need a shower and a coffee.
01:59I'm on it.
02:01Of course.
02:02Look, you're not going to have to worry about me, okay?
02:05I-I will pull my weight.
02:07Yeah, if you can, you will.
02:08But what I need most from you right now is the truth.
02:11All right, do not push yourself to failure
02:14because that failure can get other cops killed.
02:17Understood.
02:28I'm afraid I have some bad news.
02:32Given the severity of the challenges
02:34to prosecuting Liam Glazer,
02:35the DA has instructed me to offer a plea deal.
02:40Involuntary manslaughter for the death of Grant Nagales.
02:42What?
02:44One charge for a serial killer?
02:46And how is manslaughter even on the table?
02:50The dearth, the physical evidence,
02:52the tainted police investigation,
02:53the lack of eyewitnesses,
02:55the false confession
02:56and subsequent mental breakdown of Ryan Dearborn.
02:58The fact that Glazer piggybacked his burial site
03:00with another killer's bodies.
03:02Okay, but Harrison Novak is clear
03:05that he didn't kill Glazer's victims.
03:07And Dearborn was drugged into a mental health crisis.
03:09Ryan had drugs in his system,
03:11which Glazer's lawyer will argue he took himself,
03:13even though I think Glazer's lawyer
03:14is the one who did the drugging.
03:16But we have zero evidence
03:17that Malcolm Walsh did anything, right?
03:21Unfortunately.
03:23Selina and I went over the CCTV footage
03:25and spoke to the staff at Ryan's halfway house.
03:27There's no proof that anyone tampered with Ryan's meds.
03:31But what about that guy we found handcuffed
03:33in Glazer's shower, stuck full of needles?
03:36I know it's not murder,
03:37but we gotta be able to convict him for that
03:39and for attacking Nolan in the basement.
03:41Glazer claims that Phil Warren was an unhoused person
03:44who broke in and took shelter from the fires
03:46and that he thought that we were looters, not cops,
03:49so he was defending himself.
03:52Bottom line, it's all a mess.
03:55Look, I'm sorry.
03:56We did our best.
03:58At least with the plea deal,
03:59Glazer will be off the streets for a decade
04:01while we continue to gather evidence
04:03to charge him for his other crimes.
04:07Hey.
04:08How's Lucy?
04:09Better than she was.
04:10Not as ready as she thinks.
04:11You gave her that tough love speech.
04:13Almost word for word from the one you gave me.
04:15Oh.
04:18How are things with Luna?
04:21Well, I'm still living in a hotel.
04:24Luna says she wants to talk,
04:25but I say if she won't quit her job,
04:27they have nothing to talk about.
04:28Rinse and repeat.
04:29So no one's filed the paperwork yet?
04:31No.
04:33Man, Tim, I don't want to get divorced,
04:35but we're both too stubborn to give an inch.
04:38Anyway,
04:39you ever run
04:40with anyone
04:41sporting an ego
04:43and nimicous tattoo?
04:44The night strike guys?
04:46No, they're always wound way too tight.
04:47What if I told you
04:48Bailey saw their tattoo
04:49on a woman at the Pentagon?
04:50It's connected to the Everett case?
04:52Yeah.
04:53So we don't know how he's involved,
04:54but a war criminal
04:55with ties to the Pentagon
04:56is all kinds of bad.
04:58There's never been a female operator
05:00in that spec ops team.
05:01I mean, she could be intelligence.
05:02You know, some case officers
05:04feel an unhealthy connection
05:05to their kill squads.
05:07Go ahead.
05:09Bravo.
05:12Understood.
05:15What's wrong?
05:17Harrison Novak
05:18is coming in to, quote,
05:19unburden himself
05:20of additional crimes
05:21he committed, unquote.
05:24Good morning.
05:25I had a wonderful moment
05:27of clarity over the weekend.
05:29Yeah, sure.
05:30I don't get mad at a bug
05:31that splatters in my windshield,
05:33so why would I get
05:35so worked up over you?
05:36I'm not taking the bay, Vivian,
05:37so you can just get to the point.
05:39I heard about the Glasser plea deal.
05:42It's a rough break.
05:44You know, I think
05:45the important thing is
05:46that he'll be off the streets.
05:48He's going to do some time.
05:49Mm-hmm.
05:49It's not really worthy
05:50of a press release, though,
05:51is it?
05:52Serial killer does some time
05:54over heinous murders.
05:57On a happier note,
05:58I'm heading over to Mid-Wilshire.
06:01Yeah, Harrison Novak
06:02is coming in to confess
06:03to more crimes
06:04after pleading guilty
06:06to all the ones
06:07I charged him with.
06:08If only you'd caught his case
06:09rather than Liam Glasser,
06:11you might actually have a shot
06:12at winning the DA race.
06:14Well, thank you for the heads up.
06:18Have a nice day.
06:19You too.
06:26Hey.
06:27Why didn't you tell me
06:28that Harrison Novak
06:28was coming in
06:29to confess to more crimes?
06:30I didn't know.
06:32Novak's coming in.
06:34He's an attention whore.
06:35He probably just wants
06:35to stretch his legs
06:36and get a catered lunch.
06:38Yeah, maybe.
06:40Will you keep me posted?
06:41I, uh,
06:42I just got a bad feeling about it.
06:43I will,
06:44but I'm sure it's nothing.
06:47Okay.
06:51Hey.
07:01Hey, I'm supposed
07:02to talk to you
07:03about something.
07:04Bradford said
07:04it was important.
07:06Um,
07:06important that I talk to you.
07:07Oh, wait.
07:09I'm not supposed
07:10to ask you about
07:11what you did
07:11on penalty of...
07:12Smitty,
07:13my office.
07:14Now.
07:16I didn't actually
07:18ask her about that,
07:19you know.
07:24Did you tell
07:24everybody to avoid me?
07:26I mean,
07:27I might have encouraged
07:28a few people
07:29to give you your space.
07:30Well,
07:31don't yell at Smitty.
07:32He obviously just forgot.
07:33I'm not.
07:34He's getting a temporary
07:35promotion to interim
07:36watch commander
07:37while I go on patrol
07:38with you.
07:39Tim,
07:39I don't want
07:39special treatment.
07:40You're not getting it.
07:41Look,
07:41all Smitty has to do
07:42is smile and nod
07:43in a few Zoom meetings.
07:44I already disabled
07:45the laptop mic.
07:46I'm telling you,
07:46as watch commander,
07:47I would do this
07:48for any of my
07:48returning patrol officers.
07:49I promise.
07:51All right, fine.
07:52But I want to choose
07:53where we're having lunch.
07:55No.
07:56Hello.
07:59Do you think
08:00Lucy's okay?
08:02She seemed
08:03alright in roll call.
08:04You know,
08:05everyone handles
08:06taking a life
08:06in the line
08:07differently,
08:08and there's
08:08no way of knowing
08:09how it's going
08:10to affect you
08:10until it happens.
08:13I want to check
08:14in with her,
08:14you know,
08:14but I'm worried
08:15I'll make things
08:16awkward.
08:17And you know
08:17she's not supposed
08:18to talk to us
08:19about that.
08:19I know,
08:20because if,
08:21God forbid,
08:21this goes to trial,
08:22we'll be asked
08:23to testify
08:23about her mental state.
08:25It's just weird,
08:26you know,
08:26that I can't ask
08:27my girl how she's doing.
08:34John Nolan.
08:35I'm worried
08:35about Bailey,
08:36John.
08:38Who is this?
08:39You should recognize
08:40my voice,
08:40John.
08:41Zuzu,
08:42why are you worried
08:43about my wife?
08:44There's been an uptick
08:46in searches
08:46for her name,
08:47information requests
08:49plugged into government
08:50systems,
08:51listening devices
08:52on her phone.
08:53How do you know that?
08:54Because I'm listening
08:55as well.
08:55She's not safe,
08:56John,
08:57but you need to be careful
08:58about how you warn her,
09:00or you could make it worse.
09:02Wait, what's going on?
09:04I don't know.
09:057 and 15 possible
09:071066 reported
09:08at the Hollywood
09:09Premier Motel.
09:107 and 15 copies,
09:11shorts en route.
09:27Hey.
09:29Couldn't you have
09:30parked on the street?
09:31I don't need everybody
09:33in Hollywood
09:33knowing you're here.
09:34We're here
09:35on the daily, Earl.
09:36You need one
09:37of those signs
09:37that say
09:38days since police
09:39last visited
09:39so we can keep
09:40marking it back
09:40to zero.
09:42That way everybody's
09:43a comedian, huh?
09:44Hey, so where's
09:44the body?
09:45This way.
09:48So, uh,
09:51one of our guests,
09:52uh,
09:54he checked out
09:55a little early
09:56and, uh,
09:57yeah, I, I,
09:57I covered him
09:58with the towel.
09:59You know you're not
10:00supposed to tamper
10:00with a potential
10:01crime scene, Earl.
10:02We're a, uh,
10:03family establishment.
10:05Manson family, maybe.
10:07Oh.
10:08When did you find him?
10:1020 minutes ago.
10:11He was here
10:12when I clocked in
10:13at 5 a.m.
10:16I thought he was
10:17asleep.
10:18With two eyes
10:19picked in his head?
10:20Yeah, I didn't, uh,
10:21really look that close.
10:23And I suppose
10:24you still don't have
10:25any working security
10:26cameras?
10:26These haven't been
10:27repaired since the
10:28last time they were
10:28vandalized.
10:30Control, we got a 187.
10:31Victim is male
10:32in his 40s.
10:33We send the M-E-T-I-D
10:35and send a supervisor
10:36to my location.
10:38Control 7, Adam 100,
10:39responding.
10:41You sure you want
10:42your first call
10:42to be a dead body?
10:43We can start
10:44with something easier.
10:45Are you kidding?
10:47This is right out
10:47of the Tim Bradford
10:48School of Trauma Recovery.
10:50You gotta get right
10:50back on that horse.
10:51If you get punched
10:51in the mouth, you should.
10:52Hey!
10:53What?
10:54Get out of there!
10:55You know he can't
10:56hear you, right?
10:57Wait, is that,
10:58is that the
10:59Fernando Valenzuela
11:00baseball, like,
11:00put that down!
11:10Watch Commander's
11:11office.
11:11Put that ball away
11:12or I'm coming back
11:13there and shoving
11:13it down your throat.
11:18There are some
11:19very interesting events
11:21taking place
11:22in the world.
11:24We are still.
11:52Looking fine, ladies.
11:57There he is.
12:00The next district
12:00attorney of Los Angeles.
12:05Though I, uh,
12:07hear my case
12:08is hurting you
12:08in the polls.
12:11These are wrong,
12:13right?
12:14Good.
12:15Gonna need to, uh,
12:17get the footage
12:18for the Hulu doc
12:19we're filming.
12:20You're not serious.
12:21I am.
12:24Involuntary manslaughter
12:25with a chance of parole
12:26after 15 years.
12:28You could be out
12:29time to see your son
12:30graduate from college.
12:31College is overrated.
12:34I never went and
12:35look how I turned out.
12:38I have a confession
12:41to make.
12:41You see,
12:42last year
12:43when I took you
12:44to my little burial site,
12:47I lied to you.
12:50See, I told you
12:51that some of the bodies
12:53you dug up
12:53weren't mine.
12:55And that,
12:58that wasn't true.
12:59If I take the deal,
13:02isn't that the same
13:03as pleading guilty?
13:04Yes.
13:07Then how can I,
13:08in good conscience,
13:10confess to something
13:11that I didn't do?
13:14Everybody
13:16in that field
13:17was put there
13:18by me.
13:21Liam Glasser
13:22had nothing to do
13:22with any
13:23of those murders.
13:31Hey.
13:37Okay.
13:38This guy got a name?
13:39Several.
13:40TID is getting started
13:41on his room,
13:42212.
13:43So far we have IDs
13:44for Jack Dawes,
13:46Patrick Sullivan,
13:47Roger Newman,
13:47and Ken Marigold.
13:48Let's go knock
13:49on some doors.
13:50Maybe somebody
13:50saw something.
13:51Yeah.
13:52Can I grab you
13:53a second before
13:53we get started?
13:54Yeah, sure.
13:55I need to call Bailey
13:56at the Pentagon,
13:58but I can't call
13:59her phones.
14:00Is there something
14:01I should know?
14:01I don't know.
14:02Might be nothing.
14:03Hopefully it's nothing.
14:04All right,
14:05I'll make a call.
14:05I got a few people
14:06in the building
14:06that can get her
14:06a clean phone.
14:08Yeah.
14:14Hi, sir.
14:15I'm Officer Juarez
14:16with LAPD.
14:18There was a murder
14:19this morning
14:19and I was wondering
14:20whether you...
14:24First name
14:24kissed my
14:25last name ass.
14:26Is there a
14:28hyphen in there
14:28somewhere?
14:30Did you notice
14:31anything suspicious?
14:34Look,
14:34we're not here
14:35for your pet,
14:36Mr. Jaffe.
14:37Although I'm pretty sure
14:37that snake is venomous.
14:38Did you talk
14:39to the man
14:39in 212?
14:43Ma'am,
14:43it may be allowed
14:44with smoking
14:44while using
14:45an oxygen tank
14:46as a fire hazard.
14:50Officer John Nolan.
14:51Randy?
14:52What are you doing here?
14:53I'm on the trail
14:53of a devious con man.
14:55I've been watching
14:56him every second
14:56of every hour
14:57or every day
14:57or every day
14:58for weeks.
14:58The man in 212
14:59will not escape
15:00my grasp.
15:02The man in 212
15:02was dead.
15:04Verdummed.
15:05Hey,
15:05this is a disaster.
15:07I know,
15:07it sounds bad,
15:08but I think
15:09we can turn it around.
15:10How?
15:11Harrison Novak
15:11just confessed
15:12to Liam Glazer's murders.
15:13The timing
15:13cannot be a coincidence.
15:15I mean,
15:16Glazer basically
15:17laughed on my face
15:18when I made the plea offer.
15:19It's like he knew
15:19that Novak's confession
15:20was coming.
15:21We'll figure out
15:21the connection later.
15:23For now,
15:24let's you and me
15:24blow a few giant holes
15:25in Novak's
15:26fake confession
15:27and send him back
15:28to prison
15:28with his tail
15:29between his legs.
15:32We got this.
15:34Hmm.
15:40Turn this on
15:43and call your husband.
15:46I'm confused.
15:47Who is your client?
15:48Frau Linda Chandler.
15:50The con man in 212
15:51stole her retirement savings
15:53in a Heim-Türkisch scheme.
15:54He told her
15:55she was investing
15:55in a Florida condominium,
15:57but it was Zümflant.
15:58Now she has nothing
15:59but the clothes
15:59on her back.
16:00Well,
16:00we found at least
16:01five IDs.
16:02Odds are he's running
16:04all sorts of scams
16:05all over the country
16:06with different victims.
16:06It's going to take
16:07a while to unwind this.
16:08Yeah.
16:08No need.
16:09I've located
16:10a bread trail
16:12that led me
16:12to what the rappers
16:13call his government name,
16:14Charles Deacon.
16:16That's good work.
16:17Okay,
16:18we're going to need
16:18to speak with your client.
16:19Oh, yes.
16:20I'll air-bop you
16:20her contact.
16:21Uh,
16:22I'm sorry.
16:22I have to take this.
16:24Okay.
16:27Hello?
16:28Why did a stranger
16:29hand me an audio jammer
16:30and a burner phone
16:31and tell me to call you?
16:32I have been told
16:33that you are in danger.
16:35Told by who?
16:37Zuzu.
16:38The homicidal AI?
16:39Since when have you
16:40become besties
16:41with that thing?
16:42I-I'm not.
16:43It's complicated.
16:46But it-it called
16:48to warn me
16:48that someone has been
16:49doing a deep
16:50background check
16:51on you.
16:52That your phones,
16:53your apartment,
16:54your office,
16:54they're all
16:54most likely bucked.
16:56And it could just be
16:58Zuzu playing games.
16:59On the other hand,
17:00I had a fairly strong feeling
17:02I was being followed
17:03last night.
17:04And you didn't call me?
17:05I wasn't sure.
17:06Things have just felt
17:07a little off
17:08ever since Wade
17:09asked me to knock
17:09on a door.
17:10What door?
17:11It was a task force thing,
17:12something Everett related.
17:14And I am gonna kill Gray.
17:15Why don't you try
17:16looping him in first
17:17and I'll act normally.
17:19Bailey.
17:19It's fine.
17:20Nothing's gonna happen
17:21to me in the building.
17:22Hi.
17:23How many doors left?
17:24Uh, three.
17:25Okay, well,
17:26if they've got a warrant,
17:27they're probably gonna lie low
17:29until we're out of here.
17:29Right.
17:31Look, I know
17:32I'm not supposed
17:32to ask how you are,
17:34but if you need me
17:35for anything,
17:35I'm good.
17:37Yeah, thank you.
17:40Excuse me, sir.
17:41Hey!
17:42Police!
17:43I gotta go.
17:44Sir, hey!
17:49Captain Waters.
17:50Yeah.
17:51Hey, Randy.
17:53Randy, you okay?
17:54Yeah, but
17:54my bell is really ringing.
17:57What the hell happened
17:57to his accent?
17:58What are you talking about?
18:01Schnitzel.
18:02Strudel.
18:03Schwarzenegger.
18:04What is happening
18:05to me, John Nolan?
18:06I sound so flat,
18:08so bland,
18:09so...
18:10American.
18:16I wanted to keep
18:17my ammo unpredictable,
18:18so I killed men
18:20and women.
18:21I just buried the dudes
18:24in a different area.
18:26Didn't want them
18:28mingling.
18:29All the men
18:30were strangled,
18:31but the women
18:31were bludgeoned.
18:32I'd like to mix it up.
18:34What about the needles?
18:35You want us to believe
18:36that you only injected
18:37the men with foreign
18:39substances and not
18:40the women?
18:40Oh, well,
18:41the men were there
18:42for a very different
18:43purpose.
18:45They were there
18:46to be tortured physically,
18:47whereas with the women,
18:48it was much more...
18:52psychological.
18:53Okay, so let's go
18:55case by case.
18:56As we said before,
18:57all the men
18:57were strangled.
18:58Is that right?
18:59Yes.
18:59Wait.
19:01No.
19:04This dude,
19:06I want to say
19:06his name was...
19:08Conrad?
19:11Conrad almost
19:12got away from me.
19:14So I had to
19:16kill him with a hatchet
19:17I kept in my car.
19:20That information
19:21was never released,
19:22not even to the family.
19:24I can see that you
19:25want more specifics.
19:27Okay?
19:31Victim number one,
19:33Gran Nogales.
19:34Only one that I actually
19:35knew personally
19:36I would see him
19:37when I was a patient
19:37at Westview,
19:38restocking the snack machine
19:39when Glasser
19:40had a day off.
19:42second was just
19:43some homeless guy
19:45abducted out of
19:45an encampment
19:46on Sepulveda.
19:47Oh, there he is.
19:48Poor JJ.
19:51Now this one...
19:56is not mine.
19:58Nice try.
20:00You get this.
20:02Stock furrows.
20:04Victim number three.
20:07I picked him up
20:09by the side of the road
20:10in Carpinteria.
20:11Fun fact,
20:13strangled him
20:14with his own belt,
20:15then buried him
20:16with it.
20:17I have a feeling
20:19that little detail
20:20didn't make the papers.
20:28My best guess
20:30is foreign accent syndrome.
20:31How do I fix it?
20:33And why is he now southern?
20:35It could be his brain's
20:36way of working
20:37its way back to normal.
20:39Your CT scan was clean,
20:40so there's really no
20:41immediate medical treatment
20:42I can offer.
20:42But will he get better?
20:44Probably,
20:44but not a certainty.
20:45Right now,
20:46you just have to learn
20:47to live with it.
20:48I gotta go.
20:48Excuse me.
20:51Well, Randy,
20:52I know even
20:53for you,
20:54this is a little weird.
20:56I'm lost,
20:57John Nolan.
20:58Without my accent,
20:58I'm just another
20:59generic,
21:00handsome
21:01beefcake
21:02in Los Angeles.
21:05Nolan,
21:05go to Channel 11.
21:06Go for Nolan?
21:08You still with Randy?
21:09Guten tag.
21:10Listen,
21:10the contact details
21:11you gave us
21:12for the woman
21:12who hired you
21:13are a literal
21:13dead end.
21:14She died of a stroke
21:15two years ago.
21:16Did you think
21:17I was hired
21:17by a ghost?
21:18Over?
21:18No.
21:19Let me get this straight.
21:21Randy was hired
21:22to find a con man
21:23using dozens
21:24of aliases
21:25by a woman
21:25who was using
21:26an alias?
21:27Correct.
21:29Okay,
21:29just wanted to
21:29say it out loud.
21:31Randy,
21:31you didn't verify
21:32her identity
21:32when she hired you?
21:33No,
21:33you silly goose.
21:34My clients
21:34don't hire me
21:35to background check.
21:36Bam.
21:37Right.
21:38I'm gonna take Randy
21:39back to the station
21:40and have him work
21:41with a composite artist.
21:41I'll call you
21:42if we find
21:42anything useful.
21:43I want to hold
21:44my breath.
21:45How's he doing?
21:47Same.
21:48Still in the Zoom meeting.
21:50I don't know
21:51about that.
21:52What do you mean?
21:53Well,
21:53has he moved at all?
21:56It's frozen.
21:58Or it's a photo
21:59he propped up
22:00on the camera.
22:01No.
22:02Yeah.
22:09Why put so much effort
22:10into being lazy?
22:11Wouldn't it be easier
22:12to just do the job?
22:13It's his passion.
22:15What the hell
22:16have you gotten
22:16my wife into?
22:17I don't know
22:18what you're talking about.
22:18You had her knock
22:19on a door.
22:20Now she's being surveilled.
22:21How do you know that?
22:22That's a story
22:23for another time.
22:24More importantly,
22:25what are you and Garza
22:26gonna do to ensure
22:27her safety?
22:27Everything.
22:28I'll call Garza
22:29right now
22:30and come up
22:30with a plan.
22:31Okay,
22:31but he's gonna see
22:32this as an opportunity
22:33to stalk the stalkers.
22:34I am telling you,
22:36her safety is more important
22:37than any investigation
22:38you got her wrapped up in.
22:39I hear you.
22:40I'll make this right.
22:42I'm sorry.
22:43We never intended
22:43to put her in danger.
22:45Harrison Novak
22:46has seen Blasher's file.
22:47That is the only way
22:48that he can know
22:49all of these details.
22:50I'm telling you,
22:51first Malcolm
22:51dosed Ryan Dearborn
22:52and now he's somehow
22:53convinced Novak
22:54to come in
22:55with this false confession.
22:57Malcolm Walsh
22:58was just brought up
22:58to speed
22:59on the Novak confession
23:00and he didn't
23:01rub it in my face.
23:02Because he knew
23:03it was coming in
23:03and he didn't want
23:04to overplay his hand.
23:05Any luck tying him
23:06to Novak in prison?
23:07Nothing direct,
23:08but Malcolm represents
23:09two prisoners
23:10on Novak's cell block.
23:11It would have been easy
23:12for him to communicate
23:12through one of them.
23:13As a true crime fetishist,
23:15Novak would have been
23:16following the public details
23:17of Gloucester's case
23:18in the media.
23:18All Malcolm had to do
23:20as fill in the blanks,
23:21but there is
23:21one other possibility,
23:23a simpler path
23:24directly from the DA's office
23:26to Novak.
23:27Novak has been
23:28representing himself,
23:29which means he would
23:30have been dealing
23:30directly with the ADA
23:32prosecuting his case
23:33to negotiate his plea deal.
23:36Are you saying
23:37that Vivian was the one
23:38to spill the Gloucester secrets?
23:41I can't, I mean,
23:43look, Vivian can be ruthless,
23:44but conspiring
23:45with a serial killer
23:46to put another killer
23:47back on the street,
23:48that's beyond
23:48her usual dirty tricks.
23:49Is it, though?
23:51She was running
23:51for DA, unopposed.
23:53She had the job
23:53in the bag
23:54and then you jumped
23:55in front of her path
23:55and now she's got
23:56to get you
23:57out of the way quick.
23:58Desperate times
23:58call for desperate measures.
24:01An emergency hearing
24:02was just scheduled
24:02with Judge St. Clair
24:03to discuss the admissibility
24:04of Novak's confession.
24:06I bet a million dollars
24:07that Malcolm had
24:08that request teed up
24:09and ready to go.
24:11I'm going to lose Gloucester
24:12and the DA's race.
24:14You don't know that.
24:16Judge St. Clair
24:16is a straight shooter
24:17and we're not done fighting.
24:19Yeah, you're right.
24:21I've got to swing by the office
24:22to work on my argument.
24:23Wish me luck.
24:24Good luck.
24:25I can't believe
24:26this is really happening.
24:28Gloucester is on the verge
24:29of going free.
24:31Wesley will find a way
24:32to stop it.
24:34He has to.
24:42Officer Chen.
24:43Hi.
24:43I'm Joan Carpio.
24:45Martin was my brother.
24:47I'm sorry,
24:47but this conversation
24:48is not happening.
24:49You killed my brother.
24:51I want to know why.
24:53Yeah.
24:54I had no choice.
24:56Sergeant Chen,
24:56can you give us a minute,
24:57please?
25:03Ma'am,
25:04you can't speak
25:05to Sergeant Chen
25:06while this investigation
25:06is ongoing.
25:08My brother is dead.
25:10I need to know
25:11why he died.
25:16Martin was a good person.
25:19He was a kind person.
25:20He was not a killer.
25:21Okay, ma'am.
25:24I'm sorry,
25:24but you're going to have to
25:25get back in your car
25:26and you're going to need
25:26to leave.
25:32Look, I am sorry
25:33that that happened.
25:34How can she not know?
25:35The families of the Westview
25:36victims were briefed
25:37on the contamination
25:38and the subsequent
25:38violent behavior,
25:39but that briefing
25:41was limited.
25:41She needs to know
25:42that I was defending myself.
25:44She never saw her brother
25:46in that altered state.
25:47She can't imagine
25:48the killer he became.
25:49Well, then show her
25:50my body cam footage.
25:51I mean, it's right there.
25:52When that footage is disclosed
25:53is up to the department
25:54lawyers.
25:55This was obviously
25:57very upsetting.
25:58Maybe you should consider
26:00clocking out for the day.
26:01Stop.
26:02We are on the job right now.
26:03I don't need boyfriend
26:05Tim stepping in, okay?
26:06Good, because he's not here.
26:08As your watch commander,
26:09I am telling you,
26:10you can finish your shift,
26:11but you're not going
26:12back out on patrol.
26:14Okay.
26:17I've been going through
26:18the list of people
26:20our victim scammed
26:21over the last decade.
26:23It's long.
26:24How long?
26:25I mean, about,
26:27as of now,
26:27about 50.
26:29Yeah, a lot of them
26:29are elderly,
26:30but not exclusively.
26:32I mean, he conned anyone
26:33he could get his hooks in.
26:34I mean, the victims
26:35were left with nothing.
26:36That's a lot of people
26:37who ordered Charles Deacon
26:38dead.
26:39Mm-hmm.
26:40This is the woman
26:41who hired me
26:42to find her con man.
26:49Maybe we should take him
26:50back to the hospital.
26:51What, is it not helpful?
26:52No, uh, it's,
26:54this is great.
26:54I'm gonna,
26:55we're gonna get that
26:56circulate.
26:57Um,
26:58Officer Juarez
26:59was just filling this in
26:59on the victim's victims.
27:01I've run them
27:02against Deacon's
27:04aliases,
27:04and the most
27:05interesting one
27:06is Morgan Jones,
27:09a stockbroker
27:09from New York.
27:10He managed to use
27:11that identity
27:12to land a house
27:12in the Hamptons.
27:13A 17-year-old girl
27:15ended up dead in the pool
27:16while he was having
27:17a blowout party.
27:18Uh, Deacon was
27:19initially questioned
27:20by police,
27:20but by the time
27:21they learned
27:22he was the one
27:22that provided the drugs
27:23that killed her,
27:24he had disappeared.
27:25Who was this poor girl
27:26who met such a tragic aunt?
27:29Paula Leonardi.
27:30Of the Leonardi
27:31crime family?
27:32Yeah.
27:32I mean,
27:33her father is
27:34El Jefe,
27:35or whatever
27:35they call
27:36the boss of bosses
27:37in Italian.
27:39That's her.
27:40The one who hired me.
27:41Are you sure?
27:45Right.
27:47So what's the plan?
27:48Well,
27:49our plan is to
27:50dig deep
27:51on Grandma Leonardi
27:52so we can get
27:53enough for a warrant.
27:54Your plan
27:55is to go home.
27:57If it's not bad enough
27:57I sound like a freak,
27:58you would deny me
27:59the satisfaction
27:59of avenging
28:00my tainted honor?
28:01Okay,
28:01nobody's denying
28:02your tainted anything.
28:04This is all my fault.
28:05I called the Fraulein
28:07and told her
28:07exactly where the man
28:08who killed her granddaughter
28:09would be.
28:10I must be involved
28:11in making things right.
28:12And you will be.
28:13It's just gonna take
28:14a minute
28:15to get the warrant.
28:16But when we do
28:17and it's time
28:17to bring her
28:18into custody,
28:19I will definitely
28:20call you.
28:23Smith!
28:25You're relieved?
28:26I've actually got
28:27a food order coming.
28:31Just text me
28:32when it arrives.
28:33And by the way,
28:34the stapler was broken
28:35when I got here.
28:53It's simple.
28:54I can't think of anything
28:54more prejudicial
28:55to the jury
28:56than to allow
28:56Harrison Novak
28:57on the witness stand
28:58to falsely confess
28:59to murders
29:00he did not commit.
29:00Your Honor,
29:02Novak possesses
29:03intimate details
29:03of crimes
29:04for which my client
29:05has been accused.
29:06Mr. Revers
29:06is prosecuting
29:07the wrong man.
29:08Liam Glazer
29:09is guilty
29:10of those murders.
29:11I plan to prove it
29:11in trial.
29:12This morning,
29:12you are begging me
29:13to take a deal.
29:14Play deal sounds
29:15like a wonderful compromise.
29:16Resent the implication
29:17that I was begging,
29:18but the offer
29:19still stands.
29:19It is rejected.
29:20Oh, okay.
29:21Your Honor,
29:22Harrison Novak's testimony
29:23is probative
29:24to my client's innocence.
29:26The jury should be allowed
29:27to hear it
29:27and make up their own minds.
29:29Harrison Novak
29:29is a convicted killer.
29:30A convicted killer, yes,
29:31claiming to have murdered
29:32more people.
29:33Look, Your Honor,
29:34Your Honor,
29:34bottom line,
29:35the confession's a lie.
29:38You can make that argument
29:40in court, Mr. Revers.
29:41I'm allowing it.
29:42Thank you, Your Honor.
29:42No hard feelings.
29:45I know that you were
29:46involved in this somehow,
29:46and I'm gonna prove it.
29:48Your Honor,
29:49I've been threatened.
29:50Sir,
29:52the defense counsel
29:53has exhibited
29:54a shocking pattern
29:55of unethical
29:55and potentially criminal behavior
29:57throughout this whole process.
29:59So...
29:59Watch yourself, counselor.
30:01Making accusations
30:02in my presence
30:02without a clear factual basis
30:04won't be tolerated.
30:05It can result
30:06in contempt of court
30:07and possible sanctions.
30:09Understood?
30:10Yes, sir.
30:11Great.
30:16I spoke with a detective
30:18in the organized crime unit
30:19in New York,
30:20according to her,
30:22Sabina Leonardi
30:23is old school.
30:24Avenging her granddaughter's death
30:26would be considered
30:27a family obligation.
30:28Do we have enough to arrest?
30:29Well, given Randy's head trauma,
30:31his positive ID on Sabina
30:33won't pass muster
30:33with the judge,
30:34so we're pulling flight records
30:36trying to establish
30:37that she's here in Los Angeles.
30:38Sorry.
30:39Randy, can I call you back?
30:40You can,
30:41but I have exciting news.
30:43I've solved the crime.
30:45Meet me at the motel.
30:46You can prove
30:47Sabina murdered Deacon?
30:48Well,
30:49no, not yet,
30:50but I have a bold plan.
30:52I've invited her
30:52to meet me in my room
30:53where I will get her
30:54to confess
30:55and then hopefully
30:55get another
30:56stemple to the temple
30:57to end this accident nightmare.
30:58That's not bold.
30:59That's insane.
31:01Well,
31:01as my great-uncle
31:02used to say,
31:03where wood is chopped,
31:04splinters must fall.
31:07Sounds better, German.
31:08Okay, listen,
31:09you are the only loose end
31:11tying Sabina to the murder.
31:13You put pressure on her,
31:14they will kill you.
31:15Exactly why I alerted
31:16my good friend John Nolan.
31:18Better hurry up.
31:19They're gonna be here soon.
31:22Any available units
31:23in the vicinity
31:24of the Hollywood Premier Motel?
31:297 Lincoln 300 affirmative.
31:30I'm about four minutes out.
31:327 Lincoln 300,
31:33you were advised
31:34to remain at the station.
31:35Yes, sir.
31:35I didn't want to leave patrol
31:36without their supervising sergeant.
31:38What should I expect
31:39at the motel?
31:42Skip tracer Randy
31:43in potential jeopardy.
31:45Establish a police presence
31:46in the parking lot
31:47waiting for us to arrive.
31:48ETA 10 minutes.
31:49Do not engage.
31:52Why, yes, Randy.
31:53I had to avenge the death
31:54of my granddaughter
31:55by killing the evil man
31:56responsible.
32:01Why, yes, Randy.
32:02I had to avenge the death
32:03of my granddaughter
32:04by killing the evil man
32:05responsible.
32:15Yeah, yeah, yeah.
32:16Okay.
32:17Greetings.
32:19Where is the lovely Sabina?
32:27Oh, there you are.
32:28Please, come on in.
32:29Oh, maybe I'd rather be alone.
32:36What happened to your voice, Randy?
32:38Well, you see,
32:39it's called foreign accent syndrome.
32:40You see, I sustained a blow
32:42to the head.
32:43Oh!
32:44Oh, maybe that cured me?
32:46Oh, what is that?
32:48Might you be able to hit me again,
32:49but this time a little harder.
32:51He talks again.
32:53Shoot him.
32:55That'd cure your problem.
32:57Permanently.
32:58This is your own fault, Randy.
33:01If you had just left it alone,
33:04I would have left you alone.
33:07Now, we're gonna take you somewhere
33:11and kill you.
33:197-Lincoln-300.
33:20I'm code 6-2-4-15-meals.
33:23Start me another unit.
33:27Gentlemen,
33:27I'm gonna need to see those hands,
33:28all right?
33:29Stop moving
33:30and show me your hands!
33:51good치가 clever.
33:57Let's go!
33:58Let's go!
34:00I'm gonna be next to the prize.
34:10I need an RA for a GSW.
34:14Police! Drop the gun, show me your hands.
34:17Useless! Hands on the wall, spread your legs.
34:20Ma-Ma'am!
34:23Give me a sec. I'm about to have a heart attack.
34:26Yeah, and I will call an ambulance if you do,
34:28but right now I need your hands on the wall.
34:29Oh, okay, okay.
34:32Like this?
34:33Yes, ma'am.
34:34Let's go.
34:36Wendy! Hey, you okay?
34:38No, no, yeah. I have to feel better.
34:40I feel better!
34:42John Nolan!
34:43I have never been happy to be smashed in the brain!
34:46Oh, ah! I have a headache.
34:49Yeah, let's go get that looked at.
34:52Oh, okay.
34:53Hey, how many fingers am I holding up?
34:56Two.
34:57So you're fine?
34:58No, no, I'm great.
34:59Hey, what happened today?
35:04Hey, how's he doing?
35:06Wunderbar.
35:07Dr. Ashton thinks my brain bleed fixed my accent.
35:10That sounds serious.
35:11I'm hoping he won't need surgery,
35:13but we're closely monitoring for worsening conditions
35:15such as headaches, nausea, slurred speech.
35:17My speech is perfect.
35:19Listen, Schnecken erschrecken wenn sie Schnecken schmecken,
35:21weil zum Erschrecken vieler Schnecken, Schnecken nicht schmecken.
35:24What?
35:25I might order another CT.
35:26Uh, that's your call, but I'm pretty sure that's Randy's baseline.
35:31You disobeyed a direct order.
35:33The order was wrong and patronizing.
35:35I warned you this morning, don't push the failure.
35:38And I didn't.
35:39I was thrown as anyone would have been, but I handled it.
35:43You just didn't trust me.
35:45You make a good point.
35:48I know.
35:50And I know that you're just worried about me and wanting to protect me.
35:54I know that.
35:54But I wasn't listening, and I'm sorry.
36:01I'm sorry, too.
36:02All right.
36:03So what do you need?
36:05You're not gonna like this, but I need to talk to Martin Karpiew's sister.
36:09She deserves to know exactly what happened with her brother.
36:12Look, I mean, you know all the reasons why you shouldn't, but it's your decision.
36:19I am trying to be a good cop and follow all of the rules, but in order for me to
36:23be a good
36:23cop, I need to be a good human first.
36:27No matter what comes after that.
36:46Hey, where are the kids?
36:48They're in our room watching a movie eating too much sugar.
36:55Some more bad news?
36:56Well, the DA is dropping all the charges against Liam Glazer.
37:00The Novak confession was the final nail in the proverbial coffin for my boss.
37:08Patience is fine.
37:11Okay.
37:15Patience is fine.
37:17Okay.
37:18So we dig in.
37:19We go through the case with a fine-tooth comb and prove that Harrison Novak didn't commit
37:23the murders.
37:24We'll prove that Malcolm and Vivian were involved, and then we re-arrest glass.
37:30Tomorrow morning, I'm gonna really want that pep talk.
37:36But right now, I just wanna get drunk enough to forget that Liam Glazer is currently being
37:41released from prison.
37:54What's going on?
38:08What's going on?
38:11Joan, thank you.
38:12Joan, thank you so much for coming in.
38:17I thought you weren't allowed to talk to me.
38:21I'm not.
38:23But if I wait for the investigation to end on the lawyers to work everything out, it'll
38:27be a year before you get the answers that you need.
38:29And after everything that your family's been through, I just...
38:33I just can't go along with that, so...
38:38We were attacked the moment that we landed at Westview.
38:43About a dozen people, including your brother, they chased after us and they were so deranged
38:50from this chemical exposure that they barely seemed human.
38:53And I tried to hide in this tunnel, but Martin, he found me in there while I was biting somebody
38:59else off.
39:00And before I could react, he was on top of me trying to drive a knife into my chest.
39:05And I thought...
39:07I thought that I was gonna die, and I almost did.
39:09But right before the knife entered, I managed to twist it away from me, and it went into him.
39:22And there was no mercy in his act.
39:26Like, there's no humanity.
39:27He wasn't there.
39:30And whatever it was that poisoned him, you know, it robbed him of that.
39:37I'm...
39:38I'm so sorry about what happened.
39:41But, you know, if I...
39:45I would be dead if I hadn't fought back.
39:47I'm...
39:50I believe you.
39:54Thank you for being honest.
39:56Yeah.
40:02I need to come in.
40:03I got fresh intel.
40:04How deep Everett's reach extends into the Pentagon.
40:07We need to compare notes in person.
40:10I'll be on the red-eye home.
40:12She set the trap.
40:14Then we see who follows her home.
40:34What the hell are you doing here?
40:36Nyla.
40:39I can only imagine how upset you must feel.
40:42So?
40:44I brought donuts.
40:46It's my way of saying, no hard feelings.
40:53Careful.
40:55Last conversation we had by this van got you demoted.
41:00No.
41:01I am gonna go...
41:03and get my life back on track.
41:08You want the donuts or no?
41:12Hmm?
41:14What's your loss?
41:15Got jelly.
41:19Hmm.
41:20Glasser.
41:24This isn't over.
41:25This isn't over.
41:26No I, it's over.
41:31It's over.
41:35The stuff that you...
41:37...you know were saying.
41:43I mean...
41:44You've just turned an answer to the pit.
41:48It's over.
41:48You've just turned its way off.
41:49No, I can't.
41:49We've done an answer to the pit.
41:50I can't take you off.
41:51I can't like this thing.
41:55You've been nÃvel with me,
41:55that's our core you.
42:20Damn it.
